EDITOR'S OPINION

Michael's performance was more natural and realistic-sounding, and it expressed Jet's cocky, immature personality well (though I still find there's something slightly off about it). I felt Jason's was too throaty, high-pitched and similar to his Usopp voice (which is, for those unfamiliar with One Piece, not a good thing). I do think he was slightly better in Zero Gravity, being less annoying, but then it sounded more like a gravelly Sonic, and a bit too "evil".

@anthonysea Jet is a Full Grown Hawk not a Chick, Jet is the Leader of the Babylon Rogues. I'm with you about Yurchak, hoping Jet eventually gets a New Voice Actor who A) Voices another Character like the Other Rougues and B) Does a Better voice for Jet, close to Griffith's, and not sounding like Jet has a Speech Impediment.

@TrueMyriad According to StephenKux when he did his Impression's Video, Yurchak would be better for voicing Bean the Dynamite with that voice sort. PS, the presence of this person brings 2 Michael's into the Cast Today (one nicknamed).

I personally love Jason's take on Jet and I wish he'd stayed because his delievery with some of the lines were side splittingly funny. and I also love it when he yells "be quiet!" that kills me with laughter and I don't know why either.

it seriously sounds like his voice is cracking and it's really annoying. This might be Griffith's worst role, aside from his usopp voice (yes, I've heard it).

Michael Yurchak: Much better. It definitely sounds like the voice I would think of when I look at the model. I can't believe he has higher praise here than on youtube. Don't believe me? Here's a link to Stevenknux's "My Opinions on Sonic Voice Actors: Jet" video.

But as I said while 4Kids is haaaated for stuff like that and this and... One Piece... their Pokemon fandom is HUGELY BELOVED(beware of looking up the anime on any site that allows comment, there's an infamous troll with who knows how many accounts who takes it as a fact 4Kids is godly with no flaw in Polemon despite their 'horrible' One Piece dub and the current one is worse than murder and anyone who says otherwise is a TROLL since how dare they replace the cast for money reasons)

Cause not like Sonic and One Piece hasn't done it twice in fact the replacements are glorified in the last one, such honest reception *wipes tear of 'not' pretentiousness*

They're both annoying, but I'll vote for Michael, mainly because he doesn't sound incredibly throaty like Jason did. True, Jason's voice is more fitting for the character, as he is voicing a bird, but Michael doesn't get on my nerves as much as Jason.

I like Jason Griffith but I hated how Jet sounded in the first Sonic Riders. His voice was like nails on a chalkboard, I couldn't stand it when he opened his mouth which sucked because I loved his design.

I didn't play Sonic Free Riders but I have to say, Michael's performance osunds much better. So now I don't really dislike Jet as much as I used to. If they do put him in another game, they should definitely keep Michael to voice him in my opinion. Jason is better off doing Shadow or Sonic. :)

Jet(My version):
Before I started to comment I’d like to say thank you to Nirvana (Your opinion is true), and for the editor. My opinion Michael do have had a lead until nowadays have more realistic voice characterization with my (Jet) personality in the game even it slightly of the course and sound funnnier too even Jason was on the lead in the last 1,8 years since Michael . Jason was on the lead because he taken many position of sonic and some characters including me so we used to hear and made decision the voices that Jason were perform is the real deal. But who knows that other actors could do out of the box including Michael or even other actors for the next time.

Jason was pretty bad in Sonic Riders, even as a kid I was like "Dude, that's just Sonic doing an impersonation of a parrot." He did a lot better in the sequel, though, but I'm going to give it up to Michael for sounding more natural and funny.

Michael sounds more natural. IDK what people below are talking about Jason getting better by Zero Gravity. Sounding less cringeworthy and just making your Sonic voice lower pitched doesn't make you "good". Not hating the guy, just recovering from the nightmares his laugh brings me.

Jason Griffith sounds way too much like his Sonic voice and its way too squawky. I get it that he is suppose to be annoying but I feel like I want to rip my ears off.

Michael Yurchak is annoying but this is the kind of annoying that fits in this case. He has that cockiness that Jet is known for. An interesting case is that Jet's characterization changed as well as his voice since before he was willing to cheat but now he wants to beat Sonic in a clear match. Really creates a different perceptive of Yurchak's Jet.

Before I say my thoughts, I figured I point something out to those who seem to be forgetting something. Both voices make Jet sound annoying, but that's what he's supposed to be. Jet is basically a character who's egotistical and wants to outwin Sonic. Thus, he'll act cocky and selfish around a lot of people, especially Sonic. So for those who say either Jason or Micheal sound weird and annoying, well...that's kinda the point of Jet's character. Now, I myself do not like Jet period, but I do know that he was created to be a rival that can be a nuisance to everyone.

Now that I got that out of the way, I feel Micheal Yurchak does a better job at making Jet sound like he should be: cocky, annoying, and egotistical. Since Jet is supposed to be a nuisance and overconfident about himself, I think Micheal accomplished doing that very well. He does make Jet sound a bit nerdy, but I think it was done to show how Jet can be a loser sometimes (as shown in the Sonic Riders games), so I think it suits him.

As for Jason Griffith, his voice was...also good for Jet. I don't prefer this voice though because Jet sounds like a kid going through puberty. It's also similar to his Usopp voice, which was not a good voice to begin with. While Jason does do a good job making Jet annoying and cocky, he does it in a more unsettling way, so I don't really like it much.

While both voices are good for the purpose they were doing, I prefer Micheal's voice because it's a bit more realistic and not as embarrassing to listen to as Jason's.

I don't really care that much for Jet, but I gotta go with Michael Yurchak. While I don't think Jason is a bad voice actor, his voice for the character is just annoying to me. Sounds too much like the voice he gave Usopp in 4Kids' dub of "One Piece" (and we all know how horribly that one turned out :P).

Okay, I guess Griffith isnt winning the Jet The Hawk poll anymore. Oh well, I musnt deny the fact that there indeed more people who prefer Michael over Jason. But Jason will always be the true Jet to me, but I also like michael just as much. But you know I never whined about Jason being replaced. Michael's Jet voice sounds no different from Jason's so there's no point argueing over two VA's who makes a certain character sound the same unless you're obsessed.

Lol, people keep saying that Michael makes Jet sound annoying. But what they dont get is Jet is SUPPOSE to sound annoying, because he is a JERK! Whether its Jason Griffith or Michael Yurchak it doesnt matter. THEY STILL CAPTURE HIS PERSONALITY!!!!!!!!

JASON GRIFFITH HANDS DOWN!!!! He has most votes for ALL the characters he voices. Although I prefer Roger over Jason, other than Sonic, I like Jason for all the characters he voice the BEST!!! And Jason basically CREATED Jet's voice. Michael just makes it sound similar.

Jason's is more squaky annoying, but here's the thing... it WORKS for Jet. Michael's is cool sounding to say the least, but is DEFINITELY far off from what I think Jet would sound like, He seems more suited for a parakeet

Jason Griffith is the better voice for Jet it's how Jet should soudn in my opinion a cocky, foolish, dramatic character who always wants to get his own way Jason gave him the high/husky voice I liked it a lot quite laughable really XD he gave Jet the positive and fitting tone arrogant pushy person I think he voiced Jet better in Zero Gravity because At most parts he had a low tone most of the time at some parts he would be high but a little less than last time and other parts they would be mixed and fused together making Jet sound nice and more natural and therefore much better so Overall I Jason Griffith better

His best performance - Zero Gravity

Michael Yurchak uh I didn't like his voice for Jet there were a lot of problems it was more high pithced than Jason in ZG, he sounded too whiny and extreme like something tasing bitter and tough, The acting was meh and uh but it didn't really change anything I could still hear that horrible voice he also sounds quite older somehow not exactly like a 14 year old but still uh it was annoying too...

Michael sounds like James Marsters, or something, the guy who voices Nermal on Garfield! Jason portrayed the character perfectly, his sqwacky voice protrayed Jet's behavior and personality well, michael's was just a little annoying
